Gotts' Thoughts On This Story

I'm going to say this when I was a kid growing up and going out trick-or-treating, I would hate when I would knock on someone's door and they dump those candy corn treats in my bag. Sometimes they would not even have them in a bag and use their bare hands to put that stuff in my bag. The other stuff I got that was so annoying was loose pennies! Like why would someone want to weigh down my back with that stuff, I'm walking a good 10 to 15 miles here to get the good stuff. I do also remember if the person had really good candy, I would go home and switch my costume around and go back to that house. Hey you had to do what you had to do back then.
